The beleaguered boxer was ensnared in more legal trouble, including a $49 million lawsuit filed by his former trainer Kevin Rooney for wrongful termination. A jury ordered the boxer to pay Rooney a little more than $4.4 million in October 1996.

Stewart introduced Tyson to renowned boxing manager Constantine “Cus” D’Amato, who became Tyson’s legal guardian and trainer. Under D’Amato’s wing, Tyson devoted himself fully to perfecting his craft. D’Amato refined Tyson’s powerful punching technique and defense.

He was the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles in 1987 but his reign as unified champion came to a shock end in 1990 as he was beaten by Buster Douglas in one of the biggest upsets site in yahoo.com boxing history.

Zhang is beginning to look a little reluctant to let his hands go. And that encourages Parker to begin doubling up on the jab and begin mixing up his attacks more. Zhang is holding back but it’s not certain those two 10-8 rounds will be enough for him should he take the rest of this fight off.

Zhang’s wife, Jiang Huanhuan (蒋欢欢), is a retired starting pitcher for the Henan provincial softball team. They met in 1998, started dating in 2000, and married in December 2006. They have a son, born 2010. Zhang rarely visits his wife and son in China due to problems re-entering the United States.

These decisions aren’t just chuckle-worthy, random choices, though. Back around the time he bit Holyfield’s ear off and got his tattoo, Iron Mike had some severe substance abuse problems. On top of that, he suffered from chronic pain resulting from his boxing career, for which he was prescribed opioids. Those, however, only destabilized him more. Eventually, he turned to pot, and as his current business partner, Rob Hickman, says, “It changed his life. He’s the perfect person.” Tyson evened out, and now he wants to support upcoming weedpreneurs, saying, “I thought about how much good I could do by helping people with cannabis… It was a no-brainer.”

Left hook to the body from Dubois. Jab. Double jab to a clinch. Nice right from Dubois as Hrgovic got caught out of position on a right of his own. More clinching in this round as both men slow down. Matchroom might not get the KO they need.

Boxers can become hyperactive and unruly if they aren’t properly trained and socialized. This is simply a result of their exuberant personalities. Boxers often love to jump up on people—a carryover of how the breed would jump while hunting game—and ideally they should have consistent training from a young age to curb this behavior.

Deontay Wilder a laissé comprendre qu’il pourrait bien mettre fin à sa carrière en boxe en cas de défaite face à Zhilei Zhang. Wilder affrontera Zhang en Arabie Saoudite le 1er juin dans le cadre de l’événement Matchroom vs. Queensberry Promotions et l’ancien champion des poids lourds WBC admet que…

That being said, sadly, white boxers tend to be born deaf more than other colors. The higher incidence of deafness in white boxers is attributed to a genetic predisposition linked to the gene responsible for their white coat color.

Though the famously hard-hitting champ has always shown formidable skills in the ring, he’s been training for the Paul fight with a little extra help from Tool singer Maynard James Keenan. The rocker posted pics with Tyson, who he said has been getting in shape working out at his Cottonwood, AZ Verde Valley BJJ martial arts school; Keenan, who co-founded the gym, earned his black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu in January.

“There’s quite a long way to go, there’s always been a lot of shit getting in the way of it. I’ve got bigger fish to fry, May 18, then we have a rematch in October. After that, if he’s still available and I’m available, let’s get it on.”

Organisers have not mentioned light-welterweight champion Katie Taylor’s rematch with Amanda Serrano, which was due to take place on the same night, but it is anticipated it will also be moved with the rest of the card.
